prices between the same items in different shops. He would never think of buying anything without
looking around in several different shops. On the other hand, I"m not a shopper. I think shopping is
boring and unpleasant. If I like something and I have enough money to take it, I buy it at once. I never
look around for a good price or a better deal. Of course my husband and I never go shopping together.
Doing shopping together would be too painful for both of us. When it comes to shopping, we go our
different ways.
Sometimes I ask my son Jimmy to buy some food in the shop not far from our home. But he is always
absent-minded. This was his story.
One day I said to him, " I hope you won"t forget what I have told you to buy." " No," said Jimmy. "I
won"t forget. You want three oranges , six eggs and a pound of meat."
He went running down the street to the shop. As he ran, he said to himself over and over again, "three
oranges , six eggs and a pound of meat."
In the beginning he remember everything but he stopped several times. Once he saw two men fighting
outside a clothes shop until a policeman stopped them. One of them was badly hurt. Then he stopped to
give ten cents to a beggar. Then he met some of his friends and he played with them for a while. When he
reached the shop, he had forgotten everything except six eggs.
As he walked home, his face became sadder and sadder. When he saw me he said, "I"m sorry, Mum.
I have forgotten to buy oranges and the meat. I only remembered to buy six eggs, but I"ve dropped three
of them."
B. he likes the shops.
C. he likes to compare the prices between the same items.
D. he has nothing to do but shopping.
B. they hate each other.
C. they needn"t buy anything for the family
D. they don"t have time for it.
B. he is absent-minded
C. he often loses his money
D. he doesn"t like shopping
B. the policeman stopped him
C. he forgot some of them
D. he gave all the money to the beggar

dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. Twenty-one years later I am later I am still a bright-
eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell.
My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college at the age of 65. She was the first in our family
to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw
from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait.
Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopt and biological
children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic and very emotional. A year later
came our second adopted boy. Then followed son No.3. In 2003, I gave birth to another boy.
You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 81. Our home was a
complete zoo-a joyous zoo. Not surprising, I never did make it back to college full-time. But I never gave up
on the dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant talking as few as one class each semester.
The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to
stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit, But I knew I should set an example for
them to follow through the rest of their lives.
In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college
degree!
I am not special, just single-minded. It always struck me that when you"re looking at a big challenge from
the outside it looks huge, but when you"re in the midst of it, it just seems normal. Everything you want won"t
arrive in your life on one day. It"s a process. Remember: little steps add up to big dreams.

Here is a(n) 2 . Taya, a remarkable artist of our little artist breakfast group, is 3 to New Mexico.
She is 75 and has decided she wants to 4 a new chapter in her life. So she"s 5 a house in tiny
community in New Mexico where she knows 6 . She is leaving Oakland 7 she has lived nearly 30
years and her circle of friends. This is in itself is 8 .
One of our group, Edythe, has 9 how she was fond of the beauty of coins, not for their monetary
(货币的) 10 , but just for their beauty.
This morning, as Taya was 11 , she quietly set a small cloth 12 in front of Edythe and after giving
hugs all 13 , she left. Someone at the table asked, "What"s in the bag ?" Edythe 14 it and pulled out
a little packet. She found six beautiful silver 15 in it. Wow! That was a surprise. She pulled out 16
little packet and unwrapped it. More silver coins! This time U.S. silver dollars. These were collectible

my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and
some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought
of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.
I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was
saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was
going to see-the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I
was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then.
The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism (乐观主义), but the idea did not
come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost-having to study in three
schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother
remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I
got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to "the hard times."
My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with immigration officers, took my grandparents to
the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.
From my experiences I have learned one important rule: Almost all common troubles eventually go
away! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I
believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.
B. From her mother.
C. From books and pictures.
D. From radio programs.
B. did not think about her future
C. studied in three different schools
D. got on well with her stepfather
B. She attended a lot of job interviews.
C. She paid telephone bills for her family.
D. Her good command of English helped her family.
B. it is difficult to learn to become patient
C. there are more good things than bad things
D. good things will happen if one keeps trying
had recently moved into a nursing home and didn"t have room for 1 things. She insisted that she didn"t
need a thing.
2 , I came up with an idea. In her 3 card, I sent her a gift certificate (礼券) for "A letter a 4 for
the next year!" It was a big 5 . I knew that she"d love to 6 what was going on in my life.
The letter gift certificate was a big 7 . She got fifty-two letters that first year. Some were 8 and
filled with homesickness. Others were short and newsy. More than once what she 9 was just a funny
card with a few short 10 . All showed her that I was thinking of her regularly.
11 her next birthday came around, she asked for another letter gift certificate. 12 , that"s also
what she wanted next eight birthdays.
For nine years I wrote her. She was rarely able to 13 back. I flew home annually to 14 and soon
realized that the entire nursing home staff knew all the details of my 15 , as more and more often they
were 16 the letters to her.
My 17 letter arrived the day after her death. I felt I had given her the best gift I could. What I hadn"t counted on (指望) was how her gift would come full circle to me.
Months later, while 18 her things, my dad found a box full of letters from me. Those letters were
filled with moments and pictures I had completely forgotten. She 19 those memories for me in my letters. Sometimes our gifts to others come back to us in 20 ways.

you would rather not have anyone else know about. For example, if in the past, someone in Dad"s family
had been arrested for stealing a horse, it would be "a skeleton in his family"s closet". He really wouldn"t
want any neighbor to know about it. "
"Why pick on my family?" Jessica"s father said with anger. "Your family history isn"t so good, you
know. Wasn"t your great-great-grandfather a prisoner who was transported to Australia for his crimes? " "Yes, but people these days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as
prisoners." "Gosh, sorry I asked. I think I understand now," Jessica cut in before things grew worse.
After dinner, the house was very quiet. Jessica"s parents were still angry each other. Her mother was
ironing clothes and every now and then she glared at her husband, who hid behind newspaper pretending
to read. When she finished, she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Jessica"s
closet. Just as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt, a bony arm stuck out from the dark
depths and a bundle of white bones fell to the floor. Jessica"s mother sank into a faint (晕倒), waking
only when Jessica"s put a cold, wet cloth on her forehead. She looked up to see the worried faces of her
husband and daughter.
"What happened? Where am I?" she asked. "You just destroyed the school"s skeleton, Mum,"
explained Jessica. "I brought it home to help me with my health project. I meant to tell you, but it seemed
that as soon as I mentioned skeletons and closets, it caused a problem between you and Dad. " Jessica
looked in amazement as her parents began to laugh madly. "They"re both crazy," she thought.
